in the Middle East because of their allegiance to BushCo and the dangers following the wrong chain of command could have on plans to withdraw in the middle east. Funny to read Republicans complain on military forums that they were sure Obama was clearing out the Christian Generals so he could fulfill some Muslim take-over within the military.

I have been away from DU for a while (in an active way), didn't you have some kind of chart that showed these connections or am I thinking of something else?
